My wisdom tooth is growing in wrong. Ive aleady been to the dentist who is going to refer me to an oral surgeon, but that hasn't happened yet. Probably going to happen on Tuesday. In the mean time. Ive been taking tylenol, advl and aleve for the pain. Its been pretty much working until tonight. I took a 500 mg tylenol about 3 hours ago and 1 hour ago my mouth just started throbbing with pain. The gum surrounding the tooth is swollen and my mouh feels like its about to shut down. Its getting harder and harder to open it. My job calls for me to talk on the phone a lot. What can I do for now?

I have six pack abs but technically it kind of looks like a seven pack. My right side has 3 normal ones. My left side has a little one on the top. It kind of makes my abs look uneven. Anyways, in the past, I would get a cramp in my ab muscle. The seventh pack(the left top one) would cramp up and it would pertrude and stick way out.
It doesn't happen often, but it happened today and I had to turn on my stomach and just stretch it out like crazy. More than the usual cramps that I got in the past.
Anyone know what this could be?
A hernia?
Please help me.

My mom has started taking this medication for neck pain and has had these symptoms. She believes that it is from the nerve problems in her neck and I think that it is the medication. I had severe problems after i had a tumor removed from my spinal cord and I believe that is why she thinks the nerves could be the problem. What do you think? Thanks.

When i touch these areas, the pain feels like electrocuted nerves. Some tension comes out of my thighs, with the feeling of pins and needles. My shoulders are also starting to droop. Is that correctable?

My doctor recently advised I have 'arthur' in my left knee. I fell and when xrayed, it was discovered at that time. Often the knee is painful and swells. I have had other problems with this leg including radiation down the leg of numbness, burning and a feeling of being "dead". It hurts to stand for long periods of time. Doctor also indicated something about a 'nerve' in the back which might be responsible. I have taken Ibuproven, Tylenol, etc and nothing helps the pain. It is painful to walk, impossible to walk up or down steps without the 'one-one; two-two step" process. My principal has offered me the schools elevator key, but I was thinking that would only make me more dependant. I want this to get better, and if I can do it with certain exercises and holistic medicines, I'd prefer. The only REAL relief I ever received was a shot of steroids in the knee. It was heaven - but I only know negative about them. Any ideas? Suggestions? I am going back to the ORTHO doctor asap.

The pain is low down on my left hand side - it has been about a week. It pretty much hurts all the time. I've tried heat, ice, muscle relaxers, Aleve. Nothing seems to be helping. I did not pull it or do anything acute to cause it. Any ideas?

I recently started having horrible back pain along with my left leg going numb....i went to a chiropractor and found a bulging disc between my L4-L5 vertebra. After several treatment...and i mean several, my pain kept getting worse. My regular family doctor prescribes me Lortabs to help with the pain, but he's wanting to refer me to a Neurosurgeon or a Pain Managment Clinic. If anyone has been faced with this decision, or even if you have an input please share you're opinion with me...what would you do? If you face this problem how has it changed your life? For the record, the amount of pain I'm in alot of the time can't be described... My work doesn't help either with all the stuff i do (i work for fleetwood homes building houses)
Thanks to all that answer

So I've had really bad headaches for a really long time. I have a headache going on its ninth day stratight now. Aspirin, Tylenol, and store-brand drugs don't work; Advil barely works; I can't find any headache cures that work for longer than a day or two, tops. Sometimes I have to go lie down they're so bad. This has been going on for almost a year and a half. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

And yes, I know I need to go to the doc for diagnosis/treatment, but I wanted to also get some ideas if anyone has experienced this before. Most of my online search and research indicates all this occurring on left side, but this is on my right. Sporadic elevation in temp but not a high fever, super sleepy and now arms and legs are feeling a bit weak. Ibuprofen and total rest will keep the pain at bay but it just doesn't feel right. Any thoughts, experiences, meidcal knowledge that might get me heading in the right direction?

I am on methadone maintenance aka mmr and I have gallstones. I went to the ER twice and both times as soon as they found out I was on methadone, it was like I had a contagious terminal illness. I haven't yet received the proper care and I am in terrible pain. I need something to take for pain. Can anyone help me with the names of medications that will help me until my appointment with the surgery clinic. I AM MISERABLE!!!!

Ive read that this could be a pinched nerve... but i have also experienced strange hand cramps for about 5 years now.. Once or twice a week or so my hands will get stuck in certain positions.. like holding a pencil or glass of water. I've read that this is a symptom of MS.. could my pinky going numb also be a sign.. or are the two unrelated.? I would go to the doctor ... but im 21 and not insured at the moment.. is this serious enough to go without insurance??

My bf insists that he feels all woozy and high when he takes co-codamol pills for pain that have the numbers 30/500 0n them. He says the were prescribed for his mum after a knee replacement and were the next step-down from morphine. I told him he was being silly and must be imagining such effects. I've hurt my back and my mum gave me some co-codamol, so I was ridiculing my bf and saying that I didn't feel high or anything whilst taking them. He picked up the pack and said 'yeah, but these are only 8/500. The ones I was on were 30/500' and still insists that himself, his mum and his friend (who took two for a bad neck) all feel high and woozy and that the 30/500 do this but the 8/500 doesn't. Is he right??

I have had appendicitis but I now have a lower right pain in what seems to be around the same place the appendix was. It is almost as painful as the appendicitis was. The pain most of the time is nagging but can be quite sharp. Sometimes it is even on my left side. I had my appendix out about a month and a week ago. I have also not done a poo in about 2 days - not because I am constipated, I just dont need too.
Also I have noticed that my vaginal discharge is a lot and it is smelly. What is this?? Do I need urgent medical attention??
